As someone that has only worked in customer service I feel like a boomer and a half when I get irritated with customer service workers being so rude or not even acknowledging you but like you don’t need to have a job where you deal with people like please do something else if you can’t pretend to be at least neutral during an interaction where I’m being kind
I don’t even get offended anymore when they don’t really acknowledge me. I just assume that’s just the way they are or they’re having a bad day. The only thing that really sets me off is disparate treatment. when I’m kind and then they’re rude to me but friendly to other people. I take it personally. I don’t know why you wouldn’t Doesn’t help that she was super pretty and thin and I’m fat lmao. Idk maybe I’m insecure lmao
I don’t get offended on my own behalf I think I just get offended on their coworkers and other peoples behalf because ik how much it sucks to be trying so hard to provide good service and have someone next to you that you have to apologize for. But I agree it’s extra shitty when they’re rude to you and not others. I still stand by that if you can’t just be kind to everyone you shouldn’t do it. Nobody should be fatphobic obvs but you definitely shouldn’t be working in service if you can’t
Oh yeah no, I get it! I just used to take it personally when they were rude or cold to me 😭 but I do enough uber eats now where I’m constantly dealing with them so it’s usually just like “whatever” The funny thing is the cashier was closer in body size to me than to the other woman. And she was a woman. I’m more used to this kinda behavior from conventionally attractive men. Oh well
